The Industry Gap

The record that never existed.

In India’s salons, a professional’s craft and reputation live only in word of mouth. When a stylist moves on, their tenure, skills, and client trust vanish from paper. Owners spend weeks gambling on unverified resumes, while artists start over from zero at every new chair.

Salon Setu builds the permanent, verified workforce infrastructure India’s salons have always needed — owned by the professional, trusted by the salon.

Clear Answers

Frequently asked questions.

Straightforward details on workforce verification, data privacy, and platform access.

How does Salon Setu verify a professional’s tenure and skill claims?

Every professional undergoes government KYC verification followed by direct confirmation of past salon tenures and technical academy diplomas. Experience is tied to authenticated digital records, eliminating falsified resumes.

Is Salon Setu a customer appointment-booking app or consumer marketplace?

No. Salon Setu is strictly professional workforce infrastructure for salon owners and beauty professionals. It does not handle retail consumer bookings, discounts, or consumer reviews.

Do beauty professionals have to pay to maintain their Workforce ID?

No. A professional’s Workforce ID and portable career record are permanently owned by the professional at no cost. Your record stays with you throughout your career, regardless of which salon you work with.

How does the Notice-to-Hire transition work when someone joins or leaves?

When a professional plans a career move, structured notice dates and client handover schedules are logged with mutual transparency. Salons gain advance visibility into pre-vetted incoming talent, preventing sudden walkouts and empty chairs.

Can my current salon owner see if I am exploring new opportunities?

No. Professional profiles exploring new opportunities remain completely confidential. Your identity and contact details are shared only when you explicitly choose to connect with an interested salon.

How does passwordless sign-in protect my account?

Salon Setu uses passwordless one-time verification codes (OTP) sent directly to your registered email or phone number. There are no passwords to create, store, or leak.
